MoldovaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a result-oriented Senior Manual QA Engineer with 9+ years of experience in functional, regression, and UI testing across payment platforms, banking, and enterprise systems. I contribute to test planning, perform detailed requirements analysis, and manage the end-to-end defect lifecycle to keep releases dependable.
In Agile environments, I lead high-level test scenario design and deep analysis to ensure comprehensive coverage of functional and non-functional requirements across critical workflows. I collaborate effectively with cross-functional and distributed international teams, translating business requirements into clear, actionable testing.
I’ve executed and validated API and integration test suites for major card payment processors, using application logs and Splunk analysis to isolate critical defects before production. I also build and maintain structured test cases for web and mobile products, including merchant onboarding and data analytics experiences, and continuously upskill through ISTQB Foundation Level training.
